At a glance

A skill your agent uses when locking the study design and internal-validity safeguards for a JAMA clinical manuscript (RCT, cohort, diagnostic, or systematic review).

  • Locking the study design and internal-validity safeguards for a JAMA clinical manuscript (RCT
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, Design-specific safeguards…, Decision table and Checklist, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Systematic review)

What it does

Jama Study Design is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when locking the study design and internal-validity safeguards for a JAMA clinical manuscript (RCT, cohort, diagnostic, or systematic review). Strengthens design choices; it does NOT pick the reporting checklist or run the statistics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Experimental design and Literature review. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Locking the study design and internal-validity safeguards for a JAMA clinical manuscript (RCT
  • Systematic review)

Example prompts

  • “/jama-study-design”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jama Study Design loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 384 words (~1,058 tokens).
